Generally, I don't think this fits the designation of "Types of Poetry". That'd be more Sonnet, Quatrain, Terza Rima, etc.

I agree with Moosefight. This is a mess of different techniques used in both prose and poetry on one hand and types of poem on the other. Also wouldn't use the answers in the hints at all (ode, hyperbole). There's also "epitaph" which is just a type of text, not necessary poetic at all. -- The idea for the quiz (or even two quizzes if you separate "types of poems" and "devices/techniques used in writing") is solid. Just the execution really failed though.

I think "meter" would be a better subsitute for rhythm as it tends to be the word used in relation to poetic rhythm.

Coming from somebody who, with pretty decent grades, took a B.A. in English from a pretty respected college, this quiz is extremely obtuse and quite uncategorical. That's just for starters.
